Walt whitman and osorss Arnold wuc
noted B0hsspians when Bohsmianism had |
much greater iniusnes on The Kew York |
pesD than Il has to-day. One day, or rathsf
late q night early IN the OWL war, they mst |
q Pfaf's, the fAvofits Bohemian resort, on
Broadway, near Bleekef strsst. Walt Whit
man was full Of ''patriotism,,' and Arnold |
was al for the South. A violent discussion |
took placs; words grew hotter and hotter.
Whitman warned Arnold to be more guarded |
IN bin secession sentiments. The lattsr became
more violent in his remafks. Finally Whit
man struck at Arnold right ffom the shoul-
der, who let the post have bottle Of claree
ovsr his head. Pfaf made . jump and gave
. Wild yell: "Ohi mine Gots, mems, what
you do for disr' A general row followed and
much coffee, beer and claret was spilled BE-
fore the affair was smicably settled, and the
twU poets shook hands, astonished at their
own folly. In those days, Walt Whitman
dressed like brigand and oftsn acted like
cowboy. His big shirt collar never knew
starch. A black cravat, lied 6ailos- s-fashicns
fsll loosely under his collar. He wore
closs-fitAing jacket, and large black slouch
bat with an immense brim.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who was
ct one time the leading serial writer for the
Os~sxvy, has not contributed story to that
magazine for more than Ave years. Several
explanations have been given Of the cause Of
her long silence in the periodical which first
brought her into prominence by publishing
''That Ian o. Lowrie's." One was that she
had decided not to write any moro for the
periodical press, that style Of publication
being beneath the dignity Of writer Of her
established reputation. Unfortunately for
this view Of The cass. Mn. Burnett has writ
ZEN within the last two years two stories for
serial publication-"Muc ADO and Little
Lord Fauntleroy." Nm. Burnett must indeed
have keenly felt the unwarrantsd liberty
taken with her story, for she deliberately
sacrificed very handsome income which
she made nom contributions to the 0smssry.
8 George Eliot maintained selfrespscting
privacy during her life, which has mot been
respected since her death. She never allowed
herself to be interviewed; she refused to be
photographed. What was said Of Madame
de Stael that she was 'consolingly ugly"
applied even more truthfully to George Eliot,
who was morbidly sensitive about her
homely appearance. She rarely spoke Of her
works and never Of herself. She was .
most fascinating talker when in the COM
pany of those she loved, but she did not
show OF in general society.
Rhoda Broughton il thirty-nine years old.
Her features are very sttrac4ive, and she haD
an intellectusl expression. She is about the
middle height. and has very beautiful
figure. Her rapidity in novel writing was
at one time regarded - remarkable, but in
this respect she has recently been eclipsed BY
Charlotts n. Braehms and the "Duchess," !"
each Of whom can run Of novel every week
without taxing their minds one bit. Mi1

love stories, sill Lives maiden, meditation
